I'd be quite interested in knowing if this netbook is any good.

Is the processor good enough to cope with youtube?

From days/weeks of researching netbooks I get the general feeling that they and youtube don't get on too well, at least if watching full screen videos.

Pretty basic. I'd get a pair of Dell Inspiron Mini s. I bought myself one, was so impressed i got my gf one too. At http://outlet.euro.dell.com/topics/global.aspx/arb/online/en/InventorySearch?c=uk&cs=ukdfh1&l=en&s=dfh they're around the £130 plus VAT mark.

Excellent machines.

Ok. I bought this MSI Wind & I'd fully recommend it. Dosen't have a problem with youtube and boot up is quick. Also, websites take only seconds to load.

would websites like club penguin work well on this netbook? my 8yr old is always glued to our big pc so this would be great for her....if club penguin worked well!!! she either wants a laptop like this or an ipod touch 3g from santa....any advice???
thanks :beer:

I am going for a laptop, the dell mini. Its a good make and a name which seems to be trusted. My 7 year old is also glued to club penguin.
I am going for this one.

yes its a refurb but you still get a 12month warrenty with the extension of a 2 year one.
edit forgot that the link wont show anything as they empty your basket after 15 mins

May I congratulate all those that can make sense of Dell's refurb website.

I expect to see bargains, but all I do see is expensive laptops PLUS vat.

It must be me ....

had a look and I suspect the real bargains are quickly snapped up...maybe a matter of luck but most of the cheap laptops are 9ins screens with Celeron CPU's .
